    Hi Lelly, it's a hydrangea, they come in shades of red and Blue, to some extent the colour can depend on the acidity of the soil. As the heads come out they start a whitish green and then go to blue or red, not sure about the one in the pic, looks like it has blue and pink heads on the same plant, unless there are 2 plants very close, pink nearest the wall blue further from wall.

    It will be having pink and blue on the same plant. The lime in the cement from the wall is being taken in and affecting part of the plant.
